Makes Betis swap Fornals completed a move to Betis from West Ham, the club announced Friday.

Impact Fornals almost didn't make this move due to some clerical issues, but in the end a clearance was granted and he gets his move to Spain. The forward has produced some solid seasons in England with West Ham, with his best work coming in his third season, as he totaled six goals and three assists. Still in recent times Fornals has fallen largely out of favor, so now he gets a chance to compete for starting minutes with Betis.

Takes two corners Fornals has registered two corners, five crosses (one accurate) and two tackles (one won) in a 1-0 loss to Everton on Sunday.

Impact Fornals has thus far played the third wheel to Jarrod Bowen and Aaron Cresswell in terms of the corner-taking duties but still manages to take one or two per match. While he's unlikely to offer top-end fantasy value like his teammates, Fornals should still be a solid mid-range option.
